Title: Improvements in Appliances connected with Ring Spinning & Twisting Frames.
Inventor: HITCHON ALFRED
Filed: 1901-09-25
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 19,106. Hitchon, A. Sept. 25. Ring and traveller frames. -Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 17,008, A.D. 1901. The cams for operating the short sections of spindle rails are so set that the several sections are at any given moment at different parts of the lift. The frame carrying the spindle and rails A are operated by two sets of cams H, M, the antifriction bowls J, L for the two cams being carried by the same bracket K. A single cam having two acting surfaces may be substituted for the two cams H, M. The usual reciprocating motion of the ring rail is dispensed with, the ring rail being lifted only by means of a ratchet arrangement at each reciprocating movement of the spindle rail, in order to provide for the increasing length of the cop. The ring rail is made in sections corresponding with those of the spindle rail, and is raised by a single ratchet lifting-mechanism and chain which passes over a tension pulley mounted on a pivoted bracket, which is operated by a rack and pinion and held in position by a catch. For doffing purposes, the sections of the ring rail are lowered simultaneously on to the corresponding sections of the lifting-rail by slackening the lifting-chain, this being effected by disengaging the catch of the pivoted bracket carrying the tension pulley.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydro-extractors and like Centrifugal Machines.
Inventor: WOOLLEY FRANK ALLEN
Filed: 1901-12-12
Granted: 1902-11-06
Abstract: 25,376. Woolley, F. A. Dec. 12. Guards for hydro-extractors and other centrifugal machines. A door, fitted to the opening in the outer casing, is closed automatically upon the starting of the machine, and is kept closed until the machine is brought to rest, when it may be opened automatically, e.g., by the act of releasing the brake. Figs. 1 and 3 show the invention in connection with a machine driven by a water motor overhead. The door is in two halves G, G', pivoted on the casing A at f, f<1 >and geared together by pinions f<2>, f<3>. The pivot of the half G carries a lever F, which is connected to a piston in the cylinder E. The supply and exhaust ports of the cylinder are in communication with a four-way valve H, which is also in communication with the supply and exhaust pipes C, C' of the water motor, and carries on its spindle a disc l provided with pins, with which hooked links N, coupled to the starting-handle I and the brake lever K, may engage. When the handle I is turned to start the machine, it causes the valve to turn and place one end of the cylinder under pressure and open the other to the exhaust, and the piston moves to the left to close the two halves of the door. When the handle is turned to cut off the supply of fluid to the motor, its hooked end slips over the pin. Similarly, when the brake lever K is turned to apply the brake, its end slips over the pin, but, when moved backwards to release the brake, it engages and reverses the position of the valve, whereupon the piston moves to open the door.
